Chapter 87: Another Method
Damn it, the apocalypse has come again!
Neither the adjusted nuclear bomb strikes on the landing point in this life, nor the astronauts trapped in the passage, were able to destroy that underground chamber, nor complete the mission to prevent the apocalypse from arriving!
In the familiar sensation of detachment, Jiang Yang turned his head to look at Zhou Yu beside him, and saw her face pale, forcing a smile at him, then her head tilted and she went completely still.
This time, Zhou Yu had also injected the medicine.
In the entire base, only the two of them had injected the medicine.
Jiang Yang withdrew his gaze and looked at the others in the hall, once again witnessing the tragic scene he had experienced many times.
No matter how many times he saw this scene, it could not calm Jiang Yang’s mindset.
“In the next life, I hope I won’t have to see you in so much pain again…”
Consciousness suddenly vanished, and the next moment it suddenly returned.
Ignoring the thoughts still unsettled in his heart, Jiang Yang quickly got up and picked up the telephone.
After a series of standard processes, at nine o’clock in the morning, Jiang Yang was once again sitting in the confidential meeting room of the Yidong City underground base.
Still following the previous experience, by two o’clock in the afternoon, the participants in front of him had no more doubts in their hearts.
Jiang Yang looked at Sun Changhe: “The only way to bring back the intelligence is to send me to the moon.”
Jiang Yang only said “bring back the intelligence,” rather than “solve the apocalypse.”
He knew very well that based on the current situation, solving the apocalypse in this life still held no hope.
He did not believe that the apocalypse, which even nine top astronauts carrying a nuclear bomb into that passage in the previous life had failed to resolve, could be different this time just by adding himself.
He was not Superman. Apart from the apocalypse cycle ability, in terms of combat ability, an ordinary warrior could beat ten of him.
But if it was just bringing back the intelligence…
Then this life was once again doomed to destruction in the apocalypse.
In this life, people could not even execute the last remaining plan of launching nuclear missiles to bombard the moon, which was slim but the only hope.
Because that would very likely cause Jiang Yang, who was carrying out the intelligence search mission on the moon in the future, to die.
The only thing people in this life could do was to send Jiang Yang to the moon and then do nothing, quietly… wait for death.
The participants were all smart people; every one of them could understand the current situation and the unspoken implications in Jiang Yang’s words.
The virtual meeting room was silent for a moment. Sun Changhe raised his head, looking at the heads of various industries, various scientific fields, and various administrative departments participating in the screen, his calm expression containing a trace of determination.
“Then, our main mission this life is to mobilize the strength of the entire nation, at all costs, to send Comrade Jiang Yang and some astronaut comrades to the moon!
Now, execute!”
“Yes!”
Every participant involved in this mission stood up simultaneously, unhesitatingly accepting the task.
Jiang Yang let out a soft breath and slowly stood up, looking at Gu Changshan beside him: “Prepare to arrange people for special training on me.”
Landing on the moon is an extremely complex and massive project. It not only requires numerous ground staff to assist, but the astronaut undertaking the mission also needs to perform numerous operations, and under extremely harsh environments and immense psychological pressure.
Jiang Yang knew he did not yet possess this ability. But there was no choice; forcing him onto the shelf, in the five days it took to build the rocket, he would master as much as he could.
Gu Changshan said: “We have already organized an expert group to formulate a special training plan for you. Now, you can rest first.”
Two hours later, Jiang Yang and Zhou Yu arrived at a meeting room.
A group of people, some wearing white coats, some wearing military uniforms, had already arrived ahead of time.
“Comrade Jiang Yang, after our comprehensive judgment, we believe it is impossible to make an ordinary person possess the quality required to execute the moon landing mission within five days.”
An expert weighed his words: “The moon landing project is extremely massive, involving a vast sea of knowledge and professional skills.
Take the lunar module as an example; although it looks simple, it contains dozens of systems, with hundreds of switches and buttons inside, and the astronaut must be able to make judgments about the current situation in an extremely short time, formulate execution plans based on those judgments, and then flip the corresponding buttons and switches one by one to carry out those plans.
He must be extremely familiar with every system and every part in the lunar module, and know exactly what effects and consequences pressing each switch will produce.
Active astronauts have all undergone years of training, and even before that training, they already possessed the relevant knowledge to be competent.”
Jiang Yang frowned slightly: “Is that so? Then… then we can only take it slow.
Every cycle I have ten days; if once doesn’t work, then twice, someday I will possess these qualities.”
That expert shook his head: “No need to go to such trouble. In fact, you don’t need to master those knowledge and skills at all; we can use another method to substitute.
Before executing the moon landing mission, the only thing you need to do is one thing: cooperate with our arrangement to adjust your physical condition and mental condition to the optimal state.
Um, it’s not about losing fat and gaining muscle, enhancing physical fitness and such—with only five days, that’s really hard to achieve.
Just adjust to the optimal state based on your current physical condition.”
This presented no difficulty for Jiang Yang.
He answered very straightforwardly: “I will definitely cooperate.”
Jiang Yang originally thought he would face some devilish training next, but unexpectedly, what awaited him was just some swimming, playing ball, badminton, hiking, and the like—movements with no difficulty at all.
Even his diet was not restricted too much.
Although those foods were clearly in the category of nutritional meals, unexpectedly they were quite delicious.
Over the few days, with Zhou Yu accompanying him throughout, Jiang Yang felt no hardship at all; instead, it was like being on vacation.
But even so, Jiang Yang felt his sleep quality had improved greatly; every morning when he woke up, that groggy fatigue was completely gone.
His whole body felt like it had returned to his teenage years, with inexhaustible energy, vigorous spirits, and even sharper thinking.
Maintaining this mental and physical state, on the morning of the fifth day at ten o’clock, Jiang Yang took a helicopter to the launch site.
Through the huge window, Jiang Yang saw, several kilometers away, a massive Giant Spirit God II rocket already standing in front of the launch pad.
